Every Dog's Ordeal Poem by Lubinda Lubinda

I sometimes wonder
if love is meant for us all
because we spend our lives
searching... looking...
high and low
for that perfect fit
and the sad thing
is that we'd even try
everything and anything
but vee few of us find it

Matters of the heart
are difficult to decipher,
because, all too often
we don't get to choose
who we fall in love with!
but can one go against
the desires of the heart?
Besides, what happens
if your heart leads you to
someone out of your league?
can one just ignore the feeling? such is the life
of every guy who goes out
in search of love
they are like dogs chasing cats
they find themselves entangled
in the love game

'Would you have the guts
to pursue me to
the ends of the world? '
'would you even die for me? '
she asked with flattering eyes!
of course, you would expect
nothing less from a beautiful,
well pampered cat,
after all you wouldn't
expect her to be an easy catch!
'A simple; 'I love you! '
just wouldn't do!
with me, you would have
to go an extra mile!
matter of fact, you will have
to do a lot better than that
to impress me
let alone be considered'
she said as she wagged her tail
in front of the poor dog

Like all other dogs
this one would
have to be
thoroughly tested
before being approved
i guess she seemed
to enjoy seeing him fail
at doing all sorts of tricks
just to grab her attention
while she played hard to get
most dogs don't realize
its just a test to determine
their grit and determination

Love is not an easy thing
and most dogs give in
all too easily
one simply has to persevere
or they would never know
how it feels like to find love
and that's the story behind
every dog's ordeal!
